Petr VorelandAndrew Morton a75ae1d5bd scripts/spelling.txt: sort alphabetically
Easier to add new entries.  It was sorted when added in 66b47b4a9d, but
later got wrong order for few entries.  Sorted with en_US.UTF-8 locale.

Günther NoackandAndrew Morton c970a863ac scripts/spelling.txt: add "binded||bound"
The correct passive of "to bind" is "bound", not "binded".  This is often
used in the context of the BSD socket bind(2) operation.

This typo was not listed in scripts/spelling.txt, thus it was more

WangYuliandAndrew Morton 2e27fa943b treewide: fix typo "previlege"
There are some spelling mistakes of 'previlege' in comments which
should be 'privilege'.

Fix them and add it to scripts/spelling.txt.

The typo in arch/loongarch/kvm/main.c was corrected by a different
patch [1] and is therefore not included in this submission.

Jesse BrandeburgandAndrew Morton b8c7dd15ce kernel-wide: fix spelling mistakes like "assocative" -> "associative"
There were several instances of the string "assocat" in the kernel, which
should have been spelled "associat", with the various endings of -ive,
-ed, -ion, and sometimes beginnging with dis-.

Add to the spelling dictionary the corrections so that future instances
will be caught by checkpatch, and fix the instances found.

Originally noticed by accident with a 'git grep socat'.

T-Head is a vendor of processor core IP, and they have recently introduced
the RISC-V TH1520 SoC.  Remove 'thead' as a typo of 'thread' to avoid
checkpatch incorrectly warning that 'thead' is typo in patches that add
support for T-Head designs in the kernel.

Sven EckelmannandLinus Torvalds 655edc5267 scripts/spelling.txt: fix "mistake" version of "synchronization"
If both "mistake" version and "correction" version are the same, a
warning message is created by checkpatch which is impossible to fix.
But it was noticed that Colan Ian King created a commit e6c0a0889b
("ALSA: aloop: Fix spelling mistake "synchronization" ->
"synchronization"") which suggests that this spelling mistake was fixed
by replacing the word "synchronization" with itself.  But the actual
diff shows that the mistake in the code was "sychronization".  It is
rather likely that the "mistake" in spelling.txt should have been the
latter.
